Preserving Polynesian Culture Through Community Support
We, the Fa’agata’s and Polynesia in America (PIA), are embarking on a new journey focused on serving our community. Drawing from our own experiences with hardship, we are deeply motivated to be "hope dealers" and create positive change right here at home. To begin, we are launching a community survey designed to pinpoint exactly where the gaps in services lie. This survey asks key questions: "What?" are the needs, "Why?" are they unmet, "How?" can we address them, and "Where?" are the services most needed? The information we gather will be essential in helping us provide targeted and effective support to our community. We greatly appreciate your participation and support as we work together to build a stronger, more resilient community for all of us.

Our mission

The purpose of Polynesia In America is to serve as a nonprofit organization of strong independent Polynesian women and men dedicated to assisting our communities and society. We aim to preserve our cultural identity and support our fellow brothers and sisters who are struggling or in unfavorable circumstances by providing the resources and tools necessary to achieve their short-term and long-term goals, especially in fostering self-identity.
